STAND-BOILER FOR STOVES OR RANGES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 589,454, dated September '7, 1897. Application filed September 26, 1896. Serial No. 607,070, (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK V. WINTERS, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York city, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stand-Boilers for Stoves, Ranges, or Furnaces, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to improvements in stand-boilers; and the object isto provide a boiler of the kind named and for the purposes intended which is safe to a great degree and which is of a particular make and construction, adapting it to serve as a warming- .oven heater in addition to the usual purpose of heating the water.

I have fully and clearly illustrated my invention in the accompanying drawings, to be taken as part of this specification, and where- 1n Figure 1 is a front view in elevation showing the boiler built in the brickwork of a range, the boiler being shown in longitudinal vertical section. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 00 w of Fig. 1.

In the drawings the boiler is shown as being arranged in horizontal position and utilized as a warming medium for warmingovens arranged over the boiler. Referring to the drawings, A designates a stove or range provided with the usual water-back. (Not shown.) B designates the boiler, fed or supplied with cold water by a pipe 1, let through the head, as usual, and extending well into the boiler, as shown. This cold-water feedpipe 1 may be perforated throughout the length of that part extendinginto the boiler, or it may be intact and have a perforated cap on its end in the boiler. O designates the cold-water pipe, leading from the boiler and into the water-back. D is the return hot-. water pipe, leading from the water-back and extending into the boiler, as shown, and E is the hot-water pipe which conveys the heated water from the boiler through the distributing-pipes. These several pipes are arranged in operative relation and are secured at their points of entrance in the boiler by any wellknown means.

The boiler B consists of a strong metal shell made rectangular in cross-section, the opposite sides of the shell being braced by sub stantial brace rods or bars 2 2, arranged at right angles to each other with their ends stayed and secured in socket-pieces 3, suitably fastened to the inner faces of the boiler, substantially as shown in the drawings. The heads 4 4: of the boiler are substantial square plates of metal secured in the boiler-shell by the usual fastening-rivets, as indicated in the drawings. a

The upper boiler-head 4' is made conveX-' concavo and has a depending annular flange, as shown, fitting the interior of the boilershell and by which it is secured in place, and

the head 4, being that at the bottom of the boiler when in vertical position, is flat and has an annular flange by which it is secured to the shell of the boiler. When the boiler is laid horizontally and utilized for the bottom of a warming oven and shelf, the ends may both be convex-concavo.

There may be other cross-braces used in addition to those shown, but in an ordinary stand-boiler of the construction set forth two sets are sufficient to serve the purposes intended.

A boiler made rectangular in cross-section is particularly adapted to be built in the brickwork over ranges, as shown, and when so arranged it is preferable to allow it to project outward, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the projecting flat upper surface serving the purposes of a shelf on which utensils or articles can be put when their contents are 8 5 to be kept warm, and the inner upper surface may form the bottom orfloor of the ovens. And above the boiler are made warmingovens O O in which articles can be placed and kept warm. Pipes 5 5may be arranged contiguous to the vertical walls of the warming-ovens, the ends of the pipes opening in the boiler, as indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings. I

What I claim is- 9:) In a stove or range provided with a Waterback, the combination of arectangular boiler, square in cross-section arranged above the stove or range with its upper face projecting to form a shelf, a system of circulating-pipes 10ov In witness whereof I have hereto set my connected to the watenback and leading into hand in the presence of two attesting Witthe boiler, awarmingoven on the boiler, a

portion of the top thereof forming the bottom nesses. for the oven and steam-pipes leading from 5 the boiler into the oven and arranged against Attest:

the inner face of the ends and back walls of A. G. IIEYLMUN,

the oven.
